Rev/Dr Michael Caparrelli
Biography for Rev/Dr. Michael Caparrelli:
Dr. Michael Caparrelli was born and bred in Providence, Rhode Island, a troubled kid who squandered his adolescence in institutions. At the age of 17 years old, he was incarcerated at a juvenile detention center for a string of robberies. During that time, his life was transformed by the power of Jesus Christ, and he was mentored by Pasco Manzo, the President of New England and New Jersey Teen Challenge.
In 2004, he graduated from Zion Bible College with a Bachelors in Biblical Theology. He served for several years as an associate pastor of an Assembly of God while working on his Master's Degree from Liberty University. In 2008, he graduated from Liberty University with a Masters in Education.
From 2009-2019, he founded and pastored Sacred Exchange Fellowship, a church outside of Providence. The church served as a hospital for the sick, growing from 15 people in a storefront to 300 people with its own property - 4.5 acres of land and a sizable building. His pastoring experiences included working alongside people in recovery from addictions, inmates and the mentally ill. Dr. Caparrelli has had the joy of watching God transform the worst offenders into devoted followers of Christ.
In 2021, he finished his 128-credit PhD program in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from the school of Behavioral Science at Capella University. His doctoral dissertation is entitled, "The Impact of Involvement With the Evangelical Church upon the RecoveryJourney of People with Chemical Addictions - A Qualitative Study". That same year, he resigned to travel with a ministry known as UnMuted - a ministry that gives victims of oppression their voices back.
Currently, he is a keynote speaker in churches, prisons, schools & other venues across the U.S. on subjects such as depression, addiction, grief, early childhood trauma, etc.
He authored five books that help the broken overcome - Surviving Feelings, Dr. Jesus, The Ox and the Ass, Pen Your Pain Into Parables and Monster Mirror. His books have been adapted into the curriculum of several Adult & Teen Challenge Centers as well as the Rhode Island Department of Corrections. He is a professor of 6 psychology courses - General Psychology, Criminal Psychology, Social Psychology, Introduction to Counseling, Theories of Addiction counseling, Abnormal Psychology and Human Growth and Development. He teaches at Northpoint Christian College and Manchester Community College.
Dr. Caparrelli recently conducted a 100 hour, 34 session, analysis of David Berkowitz, formerly known as the son of Sam. The study sheds light on the mental health factors and demonic activity behind violence as well as Berkowitz's miraculous conversion since 1988. The book, Monster Mirror, ranked #1 on Amazon in True Crime New Releases throughout October 2023. He has appeared on the 700 Club, Dr Carolyn Leaf's Podcast and Dr Daniel Amen's show.
